EPTBuilding and Turret Placement
I've been loading up some reps of progamers, specifically and trying to copy where they place their turrets. I knew that it was 4-6 at nat, 4-6 at main, 2 at rax, but that doesn't really tell me anything. I've been copying some base layouts that still make it nice to macro, while giving you a lot of space to micro against muta and still have turrets up to defend against everything.

notice how much space you have to micro your marines
Although marine vs muta micro against 300 APM zergs can be pretty daunting, I read some advice (I think by Ver) that said “marines and turrets are pretty fragile on their own, but together they are hard to beat”.
9 minute push
The rest of the week was spent trying to get the 9 min push out while mutas are all over your face. For those of you that aren't familiar, the 9 min push is a 3 tank 1 science vessel push that happens at *surprise surprise*, 9 minutes.
I have been able to get it out in single player ezpz obviously because there are no mutas, but I've been trying to do the build under pressure. The first few times have been pretty bad, getting the push out at 11 or 10 minutes, but it's been averaging around 9:40 now, so i'm pretty happy with that. As for microing the push.... LOL.

I'm using this pic, coz i couldn't find the replay where I was trying to chase away some mutas and my push ran into 20 lurkers and died
Supply Block Number of last 7 games:
92 92 44 (><), lost the game b4 supply block, then the next 3 or 4 games I react to 9 pool/ling pressure badly (scouting is important yo).
I've been meaning to keep track of when I get supply blocked. I hope that as I improve, this number will get higher and higher. Do they have this feature of having the first supply block in replay programs? I'm not sure but if they decide to add it in, give me credit ^^.
Other thoughts:
Everyone else decided to steal my thunder and start streaming terran so i'm gonna be original and write a blog instead. (jk jk, need more terran streamers)

much simpler gameplay in general with no real "timing push". You just ball up, get ur sairs and templar tech out, then push
